Myth has it that Typhon, son of Gaia and Tartarus, grew to become so great and so terrible that the gods fled Mount Olympus at the sight of him. Born of the Earth, he is the storm and the fury. Vanquished by Zeus, he lies chained beneath Mount Etna. When he stirs, the ground trembles. When he roars, the volcano erupts.

The Typhon kinetic hammer is the most powerful melee weapon Merlin has ever created. At the end of its long haft stands a massive head housing an alpha energy reactor and a kinetic field emitter. On one side of the head is a squat, rounded dome that creates a powerful 300° shockwave when it meets solid matter. The quake shakes the ground up to nearly a hundred feet around the point of impact, turning everything to rubble and leaving a hoof-shaped crater in its wake. The blow is even more impressive in an enclosed space, and reaches twice as far in a corridor. The other side of the head is wedgeshaped, made to strike and split metal and hide, with the kinetic field widening the first gap made by the force of the wielder‘s blow. At the other end of its haft is a sturdy chisel that slams back and forth like a jackhammer when it strikes a solid surface.

The kinetic field itself activates with a sizzling, crackling sound, and the air around the hammer head shimmers as if in anticipation. When it is released (by bringing the rounded hammer head to bear), it can make entire buildings shudder and tremble.

The kinetic field can also be used to propel the hammer by directing its field backwards, sending hammer and Knight rocketing towards their target. This places considerable strain on the reactor, however, and must be backed up with energy provided by the wielder‘s meta-armour.

Special: The user can add the scatter 6 effect to an attack at a cost of 5 EP. This is done by striking the ground and creating a powerful earthquake.
